A method and kit for stripping the resin matrix on a predetermined length of optical fiber ribbon, allowing access over the length to the optical fibers of the optical fiber ribbon. A solvent is used to weaken the matrix material over the span to which access to the optical fibers is needed. Next the span is pressed onto a pressure sensitive adhesive and then pulled away from the pressure sensitive adhesive, leaving behind some or all of the matrix material. The process is repeated as necessary.
